Holly LaMontagne is the Executive Director of the National Storm Chaser Summit (NSCS). Her love for the storm chasing community and her desire to be of service to communities most affected by tornadoes have been the inspiration and driving force behind NSCS’s new philanthropic arm and storm shelter initiative. Under her leadership, the initiative has flourished in its first year, raising more than $20,000 that will provide multiple donated storm shelters to residents of Rolling Fork, MS, while the annual Summit has become the premier event celebrating community, innovation and emerging talent in storm chasing.

Chasing since 2021, Holly’s fascination with storm chasing began as a child with the infamous Great Plains outbreak of April 26, 1991, and the wonderful documentaries that followed. She considers it an immense privilege to now be working alongside many of the chasers, scientists and meteorologists she grew up watching.
